i am not a colts fan.
its sad how you people deal with opposing opinions on this site with new members.
have you seen louis nix highlight videos?
HE DOESNT EVEN MAKE PLAYS ON HIS OWN HIGHLIGHT VIDEOS MY GOD HE OVERRUNS PLAYS, HE MISSES TACKLES, HE GETS SWALLOWED UP BY OTHER LINEMEN and this is his highlight video!!!!
born and raised in houston. lived here my entire life. just because i dont pump sunshine up everybody's butts and eat up every draft pick like they are the second coming doesnt make me a colts fan.
ask me about anything in houston and i will answer it.

If you have time, maybe in real time we can watch the videos at the same time and go play by play and compare what we each see.
I couldn't disagree more with your take on Nix, but I'd like to know what you're seeing.

I agree with this one.
Also, I don't really care if Nix doesn't make a whole lot of plays... I care more about him freeing up our other D-linemen / LBs so THEY can make plays.

Not a highlight real. This is every snap he played in the 10 games they have listed, 6 from last season.

Awesome Speedy! Thoroughly enjoyed that!
Double teamed almost every play.
Clogged the running lanes, collapsed the pocket.
Blew up his man if he was one on one most of the time.
Great footwork!

Nix missing time with undisclosed injury. O'Brien doesn't seem overly concerned or know much about it? Coy coach playing coy as usual??
I'm a big Nix fan (no pun intended), would have been thrilled with the pick at 33. But I've been worried about his injuries and concerned that's why he dropped in the draft. Anything wrong with big men's knees seem to be compounded.- 330+ pounds!
I really hope it's nothing but from the get go with him dropping in the draft I've been biting my tongue with overly enthusiastic thoughts.

But I don't like guys sitting out when contact hasn't even started...
Maybe they are just being cautious with him.

Yet. Next thing you know, he's getting an injection for the ankle, which opens up an entry vector for flesh eating bacteria. He stops on the way home from the doctor's office to grab a burger, which is infected with e coli. Later that night, he starts to feel bad, and his ankle is hurting, so he decides to have some chicken noodle soup, but it's infected with salmonella.

Not only that, but it's a tweaked ankle in limited or no contact.
I'm hoping it's really not a big deal at all and the coaches are just being cautious with a guy they expect to play a large role (pun intended) on the team this year.

I voted no........ Here's why:
Romeo Crennel believes in that "big fat" nose guard that eats up a lot of room with DE's also doing the same attacking with LB's.
This seems opposite of Wade's 3-4 which wants the NT to be athletic and DE's rushing the QB AND occasionally (or frequently) sending LB's...
Bottom line: I hope it works, but I also hope people understand JJ's sack numbers will be down... I just hope that the average "lay-person" understands that and or will respect what it is that JJ does in this "new" 3-4 defense.
At the end of the day, I like Wade's version better. Quick up front with various blitzes.
That said, Romeo Crennel has been successful in his own right...
We'll see!

well TBH Wade's type of NT being successful did not seem to happen and just curious as why you are certain JJ's numbers will be down. I would think if Phillip's version had been successful not only would he still be here but we would not have been 2-14
Yep
Getting gashed up the middle is hopefully a thing of the past. Wade's defense that TB prefers forced 11 turnovers last yr. Out with the old and in with the new. This should've happened a long time ago.
But some want to hold onto the past and believe with just a little tweaking things will be solved and a SB is on the way. These are mostly Aggies and they have trouble with change/thinking outside the box.

pateller tendonitis is also called jumpers disease. The tendon connect the knee to the shin. Pretty important little piece of equipment.

at 331 he is about where I think they want him & with continued strengthening, he could drop another 5-10. Here is a picture of him and an article.

As I've stated before, I am not as concerned with the meniscus repair recovery which should be ~6 months (surgery performed Nov. 21). My main concern is if he will continue to have problems due to past patellar tendonitis, especially as he stresses the knee into the season.

A minimal work load between now and September should help the tendon, correct? I think Powe will help the first season.
Tell me after the 2012-2013 season Texans fans wouldn't have been pumped to have Clowney/Nix/Watt on the DL? If healthy they will be dominant next yr.
Texans fans aren't used to seeing great DL play.

Theoretically. But tendonitis is caused by overuse / repetition. We will only know for sure if the condition raises its ugly head again when Nix is into the regular season. Meanwhile, I expect him to continue to be considered for plasma rich platelet treatments as soon as there is the slightest hint of a recurrence of the condition. But even this approach to recurrence is no guarantee that his performance is not affected. Again, full prolonged rest will have to be adhered to if the tendonitis is to be significantly affected if it recurs. If not adhered to, the next event in time may be patella tendon rupture, ala. Cushing and Newton.

My little
on your statement. But no doubt, very much in agreement with wanting to see healthy, dominant DL play.I'm almost a giddy to see dominate OL play as well. I think we're in agreement that we both, as well as a few others, feel that Newton will play better this season and perhaps X catches up quickly enough that Ben won't hold that LG spot too long. DB is back to fighting weight and says he feels great and I look for Myers to be his reliable self. Add that huge corn fed specimen outta Iowa, Fido, and they will keep whoever ends up under #55 standing.
I'm tempering my giddiness knowing full well it's going to take some time for the vets and the rooks to gel together and play as a team. The rooks were going to learn a new system at this level no matter where they ended up but the vets are in the same new boat with them. I just hope they can win a few while coming together in this new system.

Nix III had "arthroscopic surgery" -- OB's quote -- before training camp.

Bringing forward from another thread...
I'm thinking this procedure may have occurred no earlier than 6/10 and as late as just pre-camp because nothing was noted during the NFL Rookie Synposium which ended June 28th.
I'm thinking this procedure may have occurred no earlier than 6/10 and as late as just pre-camp because nothing was noted during the NFL Rookie Synposium which ended June 28th.
...All along I have said I am not so concerned re. Nix's meniscus repair, but quite concerned over his long-standing patellar tendonitis. I strongly suspect that he has had no further surgery on the meniscus, but due to continued patellar tendonitis, there was a decision made to go into the patellar area arthroscopically.
This is much like bone spurs of the foot, which almost always occurs as heel spurs which create constant localized inflammation of the underlying plantar fascia (plantar fasciitis). In this case the bone spurs are removed and the inflammation usually will secondarily resolve.
In an arthroscopic procedure know as patellar tendon decompression, localized small areas of the lower border of the patella (knee cap) that may have bone spur-like irregularities constantly keeping the adjacent upper border of the patellar tendon inflamed (patellar tendonitis) [Fig 1], are removed along with small portions of involved inflamed and scarified tendon. This maneuver leaves most of the functional patellar tendon intact [Fig 2], and introduces new blood supply to previously pathologic portion of tendon to encourage good healing.

They have also signed injured players that have worked out pretty well for awhile. DDW/Bruener/Walker etc....
Nix is a risk worth taking in the middle of the 3rd rd, after reading CND's injury eval. IMHO
Risk/Reward, I believe in educated risk taking.

Unlikely Nix would have a "noticeable limp" at this point if he had a simple arthroscopic knee clean out. The more likely scenario is an early return from patellar decompression (a 9 week return to play [not return to previous performance]).
